Twister, AKA “The Goblin Professor,” like all goblins, was once a winged fae until an overdose of Eldritch Copper cause the Horrid Transformation. He has continued to pursue a life of scientific discovery and invention. Despite his success, he lives in The Maze, and through the wealth he has made off of his works, has established himself as the primary economic and commanding force of the slums, especially among other Fallen. He kept his fae name, which is actually very long and complicated, and from that Gossamer was only able to remember “twister of magics,” which she then shortened to “Twister.”

She didn’t pick the name, and yes, she’s aware how Fae names sound to humans. She was born half a century ago and left her forest as soon as she was of age for the cities of men of dwarves. For a brief period she enjoyed fame and fortune dancing with the Circus of Lost Souls in the Aether, until one day she got drunk on Eldritch Copper-laced wine and inadvertently terrified her troupe with vulgar displays of magical glamours. Banished from the Aether, she has struggled to get back every moment since, doing whatever it takes to make enough money to someday pay her way back. She would be much further along had she not spent almost all her original fortune on Copper dust and her lover’s gambling habit.

Madburner is an ork who once fought in the Great Mineral Rights Wars. Having left the service still armed with a prosthetic gun for an arm, a mechanical eye, and Eldritch Copper-laced armor, he has worked as a mercenary ever since. Like all orks, he was once an elf until an overdose of Eldritch Copper cause the Horrid Transformation.
